enzymes act by having a complementary active site to the shape of a certain molecule, binding to it then reacting it or hydrolyzing it of whatever. trypsins active site happens to be less specific and can fit a wide range of proteins in.

Why trypsin is valuable?

Trypsin is valuable because it is a proteolytic enzyme that plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This enzymatic activity is widely used in various industries, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and research, for applications like protein digestion, tissue dissociation, and cell culture maintenance. Trypsin's specificity and efficiency make it a key tool in many biological processes and biotechnological applications.


Why is Pepsin replaced by Trypsin in the small intestine?

Unlike pepsin, trypsin is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, explains Dr. Gary Thibodeau in his book "Anatomy and Physiology." It also breaks the bonds between amino acids, but it focuses on different amino acid bonds. Specifically, trypsin breaks the bonds that follow the amino acids lysine and arginine. Since different proteolytic enzymes can break different bonds, many enzymes have to work together to break a protein down completely.
